More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
True love does not demand a reward, but it deserves one.
Bernard of Clairvaux
There are three distinct comings of the Lord of which I know: His coming to men, His coming into men, and His coming against men.
Bernard of Clairvaux
All things are possible to one who believes.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The heart of Christ can be seen through the openings of his wounds. For what can prove to me so clearly as your wounds that you, O Lord Jesus, are sweet & mild & plenteous in mercy.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Understanding is the sure and clear knowledge of some invisible thing.
Bernard of Clairvaux
It's not as if grace did one half of the work and free choice the other each does the whole work, in its own peculiar contribution. Grace does the whole work, and so does free choice - with this one qualification: That whereas the whole is done in free choice, so is the whole done of grace.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Death is the gate of life. Ingratitude is the soul's enemy... Ingratitude is a burning wind that dries up the source of love, the dew of mercy, the streams of grace. You will find something far greater in the woods than you will find in books. Stones and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Nothing can work me damage except myself. The harm that I sustain I carry about with me, and never am a real sufferer but by my own fault.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Action and contemplation are very close companions they live together in one house on equal terms. Martha and Mary are sisters.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Learn first to love yourself, and then you can love me.
Bernard of Clairvaux
It is no great thing to be humble when you are brought low but to be humble when you are praised is a great and rare attainment.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Pride causes us to use our gifts as though they came from ourselves, not benefits received from God, and to usurp our benefactor's glory.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Wherever...thou shalt be, pray secretly within thyself. If thou shalt be far from a house of prayer, give not thyself trouble to seek for one, for thou thyself art a sanctuary designed for prayer. If thou shalt be in bed, or in any other place, pray there thy temple is there.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Death is the gate of life.
Bernard of Clairvaux
When God forgives a sinner who humbly confesses his sin, the devil loses his dominion over the heart he had taken.
Bernard of Clairvaux
There are some who wish to learn for no other reason than that they may be looked upon as learned, which is ridiculous vanity ... Others desire to learn that they may morally instruct others, that is love. And, lastly, there are some who wish to learn that they may be themselves edified and that is prudence.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Ingratitude is the soul's enemy... Ingratitude is a burning wind that dries up the source of love, the dew of mercy, the streams of grace.
Bernard of Clairvaux
I know by myself how incomprehensible God is, seeing I cannot comprehend the parts of my own being.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Theirs is an endless road, a hopeless maze, who seek for goods before they seek for God.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The measure of love is love without measure.
Bernard of Clairvaux
